Pilli Ramaraju Yadav
Chairman of the RKS Foundation and a BJP Party State Leader — twenty-three years of public service across Nalgonda, from village MPTC campaigns to a 27,096-vote showing in the 2023 Assembly election.
An unconventional victor
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”— Mahatma Gandhi, a guiding line for Yadav's public work
In the 2023 Telangana Assembly election, amid the expected contest between the Congress and the BRS, a third name held its ground: Pilli Ramaraju Yadav of the All India Forward Bloc polled 27,096 votes — a personal mandate built on two decades of visible, local work rather than party machinery.
